About this product

Product Information

This large aperture 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM lens is designed to match the APS-C size image sensors of digital SLR cameras. Two SLD glass elements are especially effective in the compensation of magnification chromatic aberration. Glass mold aspherical lens at rear group of lens reduces color aberration and provides high-quality image results. From 40cm (15.7") minimum focusing distance to infinity, this lens creates very sharp images with high contrast.The HSM models provide quiet, high-speed, auto-focus shooting, as well as full-time manual focus. Large maximum aperture of F1.4 can perform superbly in a great range of applications, including snapshots, portraiture, indoor shooting and landscape photography.

I have had this lens for about 2 months at this time of writing my review. This is my first prime lens for my 60D cropped sensor camera and my first non Canon lens. Canon does not make the perfect 1.6 cropped lens. No idea why which is why I was drawn to this lens.
This lens has become my walk around lens or the lens that stays on my camera all the time unless I know that I am shooting something specific that requires another lens from my small arsenal. Prime lenses are also good to make you think about framing and composition since there is no zoom.
The huge aperture on this lens also is great for low light situations such as shooting in sunset or pre dawn times and does equally well indoors. I am not much of a portrait shooter but I am sure this lens would do great since it is easy to get the classic blurred back ground with this large 1.4 aperture. I find it easy to isolate rocks or foliage from the back ground just the same and at high shutter speeds which makes this a fast lens.
I shoot a lot of outdoor and landscape and found this lens to do really well at small apertures all the way to f/16 and the images so far have been coming out sharp, clean and well saturated with color.Read full review

The auto focus os very noisy. If you plan on using it for video, you need to know that. I use lav mics so its not a big deal but know that it would be impossible to use this lens for video/auto-focus with the onboard mic. Way too noisy.

I'm not a professional, but I take a lot of pictures of things I have for selling. I don't like the common 50mm lens because it seems too much zoomed on a crop sensor camera, especially for filming, so a 24 or 30mm are the best choices for me, and this lens can do amazing works under sunlight or dark enviroments. I was choosing between this and the ART model, but I saw reviews comparing them, and didn't think the price make it for the difference, because, as I said before, am not a professional.

LOVE this! I just got it today and I think I'm falling head over heels. It's a great lens to have when you have a crop body (well, it only works on crops). I have the canon 50mm f/1.4, and sometimes, the 1.6x my crop body makes is too much and it's not wide enough. With the 30mm, it's a great length for all types of photography!

Costs a fortune but it'll be the only lens you'll need for any occasion!

These are amazing! I used them at a wedding and they came out so professional. I never like using flash because it tends to over expose the pictures therefore these were just perfect for me without the flash and pictures were crispy clear. When using auto focus you can hear it making a little noise but its not bad at all. Also the video mode is just as nice. I'm a new dslr user and I've done a lot of research on which lens to invest in and I'm satisfied with it and probably going to be the only lens I need.
